Friday. 9/9/16
123's, eats good yesterday, steps were anemic.
My FIL finally left the hospital to a nursing home yesterday. His decline from just a month ago is shocking but it is nice to have him settled in with end of life decisions in place per his wishes. We are hoping to settle my MIL (with her dementia and delusions) in an adult family home quite soon.
Dave, hope your time in the city isn't too stressful.
I'm seeing my PS surgeon today for what is likely my last follow up of LBL.
Cheers! Lots and lots of cheers to you all.

Morning everyone
Diane glad you are back safely and that your trip went well with a happy ending. Driving Dave, I guess that this is just part of life. How long does it take you?
Great food day. Mantra was: the is the ' new normal ' as passed by a sweet laden table at work. Steps 7,657.
have a good Friday!
131 ON THE DOT. 
Salty day yesterday, gain should mostly be water weight. Didn't track yesterday, no exercise. Day full of house packing, new rental measuring and inspector and carpet guy appointments. More of the same today. I will be happy to get back to life as I knew it. Not taking very good care of me right now.

142.2! This is a new low number for me and very exciting. I had lost 100 lbs on weigh****chers after I had my 3rd child, gained it all back and then some before the VSG. But when I lost that weight my lowest was 143, I was convinced I'd never get this low again.
Some nice non-scale victories the last few days. BP was 100/64 at the blood drive, I just smiled and said yes when the guy asked me if I was a runner. Running program is going well and I'm actually looking for chances to run instead of excuses not to. Went to Old Navy the other day and bought size 8 jeans and size small shirts-wow!!
Life outside of weight loss world is crazy. With kids back to school and work as busy as ever it's tough to find the work/life balance and keep all the balls in the air. But I'm managing. Camping with my sons Cub Scout pack this weekend- can't wait!!
Have a wonderful Friday friends!!
